18: A kinder curse? (Open Video/Action, Cursed Event)

[enchantressofore]

A. Video, Open

[ When the feed clicks on it shows a rather red-faced Adela, sporting a pair of black spiral horns and black bat-like wings in view of the camera. Not that it's anything new, but at the same time she also seems unusually on edge. The reason why becomes apparent when she finally speaks. ]

Uhm... Of those who have changed the way I seem to have, I ask of you... How do you get by like this? For food, I mean.

[ What is her life when she has to ask this question!? Nehra she's hoping the answer isn't the same as it would be back home either... ]

B. Video, Private to Smoker

Smoker... I feel I must speak with you about this. About what I have become.

C. Action, Genessia Park

[ Well, there really is no point in hiding it anymore. Somehow, Adela has wound up as a Succubus because of the same curse that seems to be plaguing a lot of people there. The irony isn't lost on her either, but hey...

Now it's time to have some fun with this, or at least to try.

Which is why Adela can be seen in Genessia park, straining to flap her wings so she can try to get airborne. It's difficult, but even when she falls she can't help grinning and laughing. It's different for certain, but learning any new skill isn't easy at all. No reason not to try her best!

It means she's really not paying attention to whoever might be passing by or even watching, but it's the middle of the day. Who cares? ]

You need food? [though he's technically a were panther he's usually all panther more often than not] What do you want, 'Dela? I'll hunt it for you.

[Happy little eyeblink as he purrs. He can help! Yay!]

[enchantressofore]

[ ... Welp. That's a thing.

Surprising that she hasn't seen it before actually.

But at that question... ]

Normal food does not seem to do a thing for me, Ace. I am not the only one who has transformed that has apparently needed to change how they eat, I simply have not figured out how I am supposed to yet.

[orangeoutlaw]

Oh. [poor Adela. What a horrible thing to go through!] What do you need.
[serious now. He will do everything he can to help her]

[enchantressofore]

That is what I am trying to find out now -- if there are others who have become like I have, they may know something that I do not.

[ Or confirm something she REALLY doesn't want to think about, but she'll cross that bridge when she gets to it lest she become a complete blushing mess before she even gets a real answer. ]

[orangeoutlaw]

Well what are you? [he thinks] A sheep bat? Maybe you need grass?

[an even worse fate]

Action

[redcinemareel]

[Hidden in the trees, or trying to be since she's blue and red, Grell watches the girl try to fly in a rather whimsical way. It's amusing, to say the least. Such an odd little creature.]

[enchantressofore]

[ At first, she's completely oblivious to her observer. It seems more and more like she's having fun in spite of not flying the most gracefully, but the fact that she's airbone? That's amazing!

And then she notices the feathered lady who looks... Kind of? Familiar. She can't pinpoint why though, and it has Adela blinking owlishly at the other before she seats herself on the branch of a tree nearby. ]

May I help you?

[redcinemareel]

[The creature Adela talks to just tilts her head a little at the question. No, there isn't anything someone like her could help her with.

But maybe she could have some fun with her.

Grell stands upright on the branch she was perched on and hopped out of the tree, flying and keeping her height even while doing so. It's effortless, a sign of experience. But she's looking to Adela, as if waiting for her.]

[enchantressofore]

[ Ah? Adela blinks at the other, feeling a little flustered at the sight of her flying so gracefully. It doesn't take long for her to stand, a little wobbly before she finds her balance. It doesn't help her feel any better that the branch is creaking a bit under her weight though...

That's before she tries to ready herself, outstretching her wings, jumping off the branch--

--And falling to the ground on her face.

Soon after there's a muffled groan of pain from her. Well, she should have seen that coming really. ]

[redcinemareel]

[WOW that's embarrassing. Grell lands without much notice and shakes her head lightly. Poor, pathetic thing. She'll just have to teach her a thing or two. It should be fun?

So Grell just waits for Adela to recover enough to show her a few tricks.]

Action because fuck that noise!!!

[justicereigns]

[Smoker brings her hot chocolate. His reasoning: it might not fill her up, but it probably won't hurt either and hot chocolate is good, okay okay.]

Yo.

[Stupid Rock everything. He's even MORE stiff than usual, and his muscles seem determined to calcify whenever he stops moving.]

Pffff I'd say fuck the police but all things considered...

[enchantressofore]

... Are you adjusting well?

[ No, that's not what she wants to ask. She will take the hot chocolate though, because too sweet or not she does appreciate the gesture and it does comfort her at least a little. ]

XD IKR so don't XD It'd be awkward af

[justicereigns]

Yeah, fine.

[His legs are already rock.] What about you? Figure out how to eat yet?

[Because it's sex Adela. It's. Sex.]

[And he does not want to be the one to break it to her.]

[enchantressofore]

... Part of me is hoping that my suspicions are wrong, and I have yet to hear anything either way.

[ Ugh. She bows her head, slumping a bit where she is before mumbling to herself. ]

I suppose I have this to look forward to at home as well, if it ever happens...

[justicereigns]

It?

[.... siiiiiiiiiiiidelong glance there.]

[After a few minutes, a woman familiar to Adela would come into view, in a less showy but still distinctly fancy outfit.]

... The curse strikes you in an interesting way, too, I see. Seems it's been hitting a lot of people.

For reference, you're probably not going to be able to fly quite like that. It's a matter of wing strength versus gravity - you'll need magic to get you moving, then they're good for maneuvering.

[enchantressofore]

Ha?

[ Adela blinks at Pidonus, a little confused before feeling a little flushed as she gives up for the moment. ]

Perhaps, but I would rather not use magic if possible -- I do not know how well I will fare otherwise.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Hmm. Fair enough, I guess.

Have you gained any other abilities with this change in form, if I might ask?

[Pidonus approaches a little closer, but doesn't exactly invade Adela's personal space any.]

[enchantressofore]

I have not tried -- I would rather not find out, to be honest.

[ Sigh. Why is this happening. Of all the things she could have become... ]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Makes sense. A transformation like this, well, it could have all kinds of unpredictable effects.

You still seem to be pretty much 'you', though. You're actively embarrassed thinking about the potential implications of what has occurred, rather than gleefully diving into the strange power you've been granted barely heeding consequence.

That's a good thing, for sure. It means the transformation, while it may be giving you abilities, is not much more than skin-deep.

[Yugi was just floating around when he had spotted the other. It wasn't long before he waved slightly with a slight smile.]

Hey, I guess you are trying to figure out what you can do, right?

[Yugi knew his at least... Since being a ghost or spirit there was a lot of limits.]

[enchantressofore]

Yugi? Oh, uhm, yes.

[ She blinks at him, a little surprised, and tilting her head. It's taking her a while, and een after that she still can't figure out what he's supposed to be. ]

[sizedoesntmatter]

That's good. At least you didn't end up as a ghost like I did. it makes everyday things harder.

[Upside was he didn't have to walk at least.]

[enchantressofore]

... Considering what sort of creature I am, I think I would prefer being a ghost.

[ A sigh leaves her when Adela seats herself on the bench before looking to Yugi again. ]

I mean... Gaining the ability to fly is nice and all, but... I cannot say I am fond of this at all.

[sizedoesntmatter]

What creature are you anyway?

[Might not be the best question to ask and it takes him a moment to think about it.]

Actually never mind. You aren't happy and I wish I could do something to help. Though what can one do really with this situation.
